Justification
CRITICAL: a provisional descriptive compound (‘being pronounced properly conducted’) attempting to carry the forensic, once-for-all legal-declaration sense; no single Santali term or settled compound for this exact concept is attested in currently available literature. Must never be abbreviated to mere maapa (forgiveness), which loses the ‘declared righteous’ dimension central to Romans 4. Treat as provisional pending theologian confirmation, consistent with this language’s thinner translation tradition.
